Structure and Function of the Musculoskeletal System, Second Edition, is a unique reference that thoroughly explores the biomechanical characteristics of musculoskeletal components and the response and adaption of these components to the physical stress imposed by everyday activities. Following a systematic approach, this text describes
- the basic composition and function of the musculoskeletal system;
- mechanical concepts and principles that underlie human movement;
- functional anatomy of the skeletal, connective tissue, articular, and neuromuscular systems;
- structural adaption of musculoskeletal components;
- the effect of aging on muscle function; and
- the etiology of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries.
